The first identification of the cholinesterase variant E1kE1f is reported from a family study. The evidence is based on the determination of enzymic activity, dibucaine, fluoride and RO2 numbers. Three individuals appear to have this genotype, and family evidence is not at variance with our conclusions. All three individuals will be sensitive to suxamethonium.

The results of 458 prolonged nasotracheal intubations are described in 435 infants and young children up to 5 years of age after open heart surgery, in whom the upper airway was normal. No deaths occurred which could be attributed to the technique, and no tubes became obstructed. Sub-glottic stenosis did not occur when a loose-fitting endotracheal tube was used, and stridor after extubation was rare. If necessary, the technique can be used with safety for several weeks.
